At the end of last month, Israel launched its most hard-line government ever against Palestine, and politicians from far-right political parties calling for the expulsion of Palestinians have also been appointed to key cabinet ministers.
State Security Minister Benghbir, who is also the leader of a far-right political party, visited the Islamic holy site "Haram al-Sharif" in the old city of Jerusalem on the 3rd, accompanied by a large number of security forces, saying, "This place is the most important for the people of Israel. It's a great place," he claimed.
In the past, there are strict rules, such as only Muslims are allowed to worship at this holy site of Islam. This led to large-scale protests by the Palestinian side.
In response to this visit, the Palestinian Interim Authority and Arab countries denounced it as "a provocative act," while Hamas, an Islamic organization that takes a hardline stance against Israel, said, "It is a dangerous escalation and a warning of war." And there are concerns that tensions will rise in the future.
